Mohammad Zakir Hossain

Mohammad Zakir Hossain is the Member of Parliament for Mymensingh-5, currently facing scrutiny over his eligibility due to loan default status.

CONSTITUENCY NUMBER DISCREPANCY: Task brief assigns this as constituency 142, but multiple authoritative sources (Wikipedia, viewsbangladesh.com, List of members of 13th Jatiya Sangsad) consistently identify Mymensingh-5 as national constituency 150. Constituency 142 is Jamalpur-5 (Jamalpur Sadar Upazila) per Wikipedia list of constituencies. File named cnst_142.json per task instructions; recommend cross-checking the EC gazette for 13th Parliament delimitation order. Election result confirmed by BSS primary source (bssnews.net): winner 128,896 votes, runner-up (Jamaat) 102,228 votes; five candidates contested total. Vote shares and margin percent not computed: total valid votes not confirmed in available sources. Wealth disclosure: EC affidavit shows Tk 34.03 million in cash; total movable and immovable combined figure not separately stated in Prothom Alo analysis (asset ranges cited as Tk 10-70 million movable, Tk 10-90 million immovable); exact total not verifiable from open sources, so wealth_disclosed_bdt left null. Criminal cases: EC affidavit lists five cases; individual case descriptions not publicly available. Brother AKM Mosharraf Hossain was BNP MP for this constituency in 1996 and 2001 (state minister for energy and mineral resources); Zakir is contesting his third election (prior bids without win). Term count set to 1 (first successful election). No parliamentary committee assignments or post-election constituency activity found in public sources as of 2026-05-17.
